The walk is fringed by maritime woodlands along its entirety, mostly on steep undisturbed slopes. The salt pans extend 3.5 km with inlets of fresh water cascading down the hills. This diversity of habitats from marine, to salt pan to fresh water makes for an exciting walk. Dolphins are often seen, bird life is abundant with Golden Oreole, Squacco Heron, Stone Curlew, Avocet, Pelican, Stork and various raptor species to name a few. Breathtaking dragon and damsel fly species can be seen darting around streams and lizards, snakes, frogs and toads are common sights.

The town has style and a lovely atmosphere, its streets steeped in history and art. It boasts wonderful coastal walks, rich wildlife and natural hot water and mud spa's close by.

Queen Marie's Palace (Queen Victoria's grand daughter) and the botanical gardens (2nd largest in Europe)are only 20 minutes walk away from the house. The Queen had such a love for this romantic and beautiful place that her heart now lies in the palace.

The palace also boasts a huge collection of historical artifacts. There is also wine tasting within the gardens.
There are lovely restaurants, tavernas and beach bars between the house and the main town which offer fantastic value for money with amazing sea views for free!
